tekHedd – the blog

Well, it’s official, Twitter is now lame. Where to next? I mean, is there anything cool that hasn’t been bought by Facebook yet?

I’ve just uploaded a new version of the Ameinias not-exactly-a Jukebox. Download it directly as Ameinias-3.0.3.0.exe (13.7 MB).

The leveling compression settings are now configurable.

These are the settings I am using

It’s really designed for a slow attack/release with a high ratio.

Full changelog

• Average power calculation is more accurate
• Compression power is now calculated using a running average power calculation. Dense, loud tracks now play much closer to the volume of quite, sparse tracks.
• Can now set the compression ratio and other parameters through the GUI.
• Compression settings can be saved as presets
• Added database update code to handle, you know, updates.

Updating from previous versions

Updates from previous verisons should just work. But they might not. I wrote tests for it and tried it myself, but hey it might not work. Since about four people total have actually downloaded the program, I can’t really justify too much testing! If it fails, you can force the database to be regenerated by deleting the files in

c:\users\<yourname>\AppData\Local\Ameinias

There should be two: ameinias.db and ameinias.properties. The database will be regenerated when you launch the program.

Updated Ameinias once more. Now properly creates a per-user installation, so you can install as one user but run as another one. This should work on all modern versions of Windows and also on linux or Mac if you manage to somehow get it installed there. :)
